Édouard Glissant has emerged as one of the major figures of 20th-century postcolonial literature, and his novels, poetry, and essays have been widely translated and studied. Little has been written, however, about his cultural and educational activism which informed and shaped his theoretical work. This edition sheds light on this chapter of Glissant’s career by translating and annotating the collaboratively composed and staged play, Histoire de Nègre, which he helped to write and perform while teaching at the Institute for Martinican Studies.

Translated and edited by Andrew Daily and Emily Sahakian.
